The US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government's neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. The citizens of the US suffer from blatant abuses of their rights such as the NDAA, the TSA, etc. Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world, it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union, and to do so would protect it's citizens' standard of living and re-secure their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government.

Nowhere near as eloquent as...
“When in the Course of human events...”

“when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government...”

“The history of the present President of the United States is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.”

The kiddies in the coastal cesspool “gimme” constituency that keeps electing these Democrat Santas and subjecting the rest of us red states to their slouch to Gomorrah need the resources of the “producer” states to keep their lifestyles afloat. That’s why Obama needs the military and his own civilian military brownshirts to keep us redneck bitter clingers in line.
